Day 134 [19.01] This weed is smelling like too much ๐Ÿค” my garden is surrounded by the smell of it ๐Ÿ˜ฑ The buds are hard like rocks and frosty like you want to ๐Ÿ’Ž Day 138 [23.01] She is on the list of the plants that have been infested by gnats but she is solo the most resistant. The last feeding with extra PK seems to have been too strong and the plant started to burn from nutrients excess or ph fluctuation so I've flushed heavily before the harvest. Harvest F+61

Over the last week I was stressing over overcrowding but I seem to have got this 12-12 timing correct as the stretch has come into play so Iโ€™m pretty sure by Friday Iโ€™ll have pistols and be able to call it day 1 in flower! I have a nice sea of green coming on now too and as I said I wonโ€™t trim anything or top as I want to grow naturally (organic)! If you like hit me with a like thank you buddies merry Xmas! These fastbuds are amazing and have shown why they are a top breeder! Canโ€™t wait.... Iโ€™ll flower for Their photoperiodic times and flush as according! Itโ€™s all exciting! And anyone following just got to pop out will update my other diaries at around 4-5pm GMT

Day 99 Decided to harvest today. It's been a super interesting grow, first time I tried any form of hydro in a DIY grow bucket. The bucket did an amazing job! Stresskiller performed excellent as well! Was a very easy to grow strain. Didn't have any issues, only performed defoliations to try and get an even canopy, which worked out really great, I will probably never top autos anymore now, giving it less stress seems to be the way to get a longer veg period. It took 35 days for the first flower pistils to show up on the flowering nodes. My trichomes sadly never went more then 20% cloudy, but I think this has something to do with my setup, as my previous grow also had this issue. The plant is drying now in the dry tent, when it is done and trimmed I will do a final weigh in and update the journal with the total dry weight. I can't wait to try some, her smell is like sour and citrussy, very potent.

Day 70!!!! Girl, she looks amazing, this week I removed some leaves to give her a lot of energy for the flowers:) the girl drinks every 2 days, next watering I will probably give her the last water with biobizz fertilizer, next week, I'm going on a short vacation (5 days) I will ask my friend to come and water her, but it will only be clean water 6.3ph:) probably when I get back, it will already be harvest week:).

Hello Diary. We have reached the sixth week of flowering, soon their roommate Fat Banana is leaving the "Farm", she is ready for the harvest. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Both Haze Berry will have to wait another week for sure, then we will see what the state of terpenes is. ๐Ÿ˜ Haze Berry has grown beautiful, full of huge flowers that cover entire branches. This is likely to be a record holder so far on โ€œmy little farmโ€. ๐Ÿ’ช At the end of the week I did a defoliation, I took off all the bigger leaves to give them better airiness in those last days and to give the flowers a little more energy. ๐Ÿ’ช Watering is at this stage every three days, I have stopped adding nutrients and watering with water to which I have previously regulated p.H. between 6.2 and 6.5. To lower the p.H. i use Plagron's Lemon Kick. The temperature and humidity in the Box are great, almost ideal for this phase. ๐Ÿ‘Œ Letโ€™s take a look at what this week looked like. 21/11/2020 - Day 58. Watering. p.H of water I regulated to 6.3. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 24.5 degrees and 38% humidity. 24/11/2020 - Day 61. Watering. Same procedure as three days earlier. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.1 degrees and 40% humidity. 26/11/2020 - Day 63. Photography and defoliation. As I wrote earlier, I removed all the larger leaves for better airflow and to give the flowers a little more energy. Weโ€™re saying goodbye to Fat Banana soon so next week the Haze Berries are alone on the โ€œfarmโ€. See you soon.

Hallo Growlegen, wir zรคhlen Blรผte Tag 10 und den Blรผmchen geht's soweit sehr gut ๐Ÿ˜ Sie messen jetzt ca 85 cm ๐Ÿ“ Beide wachsen รคhnlich, die Gushers hat etwas lรคngere Internodien und Frau Kush ist etwas kompakter und buschiger. Beide haben leichte gelbe Spitzen, aber mein VPD ist auch nicht ideal. ๐Ÿ˜ž Der PPFD liegt erst bei ca.650 und Lampe bei 60 %- da mรผsste eigentlich noch was gehen, oder was meint ihr ? โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒค๏ธโ›…๐ŸŒฅ๏ธ Ein einziges Blatt der Gushers zeigt etwas Calmag Mangel - aber sonst nix zu sehen auรŸer die typische Blรผteaufhellung. Der Stretch der letzten Tage war schon ordentlich, aber noch passt die Hรถhe โœ… Wir freuen uns alle schon auf den Friseur Termin in nรคchster Zeit (noch 11 Tage Geduld), da muss dringend gestutzt werden im Unterholz โœ‚๏ธ Grรผne GrรผรŸe Rocko ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿ’Ž Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B Week 11 | The Girl I Forgot to Photograph ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Okay... I'm going to start this week's report with a confession. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I forgot to photograph her. Yep. Somehow... somewhere between photographing the rest of the room, checking the girls, looking at flowers, chasing photons, moving around the 8ร—8 jungle and doing all the usual madness... I completely missed Black Diamond Pheno B. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ“ธ And honestly? I'm sitting here with a smile on my face because I find it absolutely hilarious. I photographed the rest of the room. I documented everybody else. I probably took far too many photographs of some of the girls. And this beautiful girl was standing there in her corner like: "Excuse me?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ So... Black Diamond Pheno B... I owe you a proper photoshoot next week. But here's the funny part. Even without this week's photographs... she's still doing exactly what she should be doing. She's growing. She's developing. She's shining. She's filling her space. And she's continuing to be this beautiful, slightly quieter Black Diamond that we've been following throughout the adventure. So this week... we're going to let her shine with words instead. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ THE GIRL THE CAMERA FORGOT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I genuinely don't know how this happened. I've got photographs from the room. I've been documenting the plants. I've been looking at the flowers. I've been checking structures. And somehow... Black Diamond Pheno B slipped through the photographic net. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Maybe she was standing there thinking: "Don't worry. I'll give you a break this week." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Or perhaps she simply decided that she didn't need the camera. Because she already knows she's beautiful. And honestly? She's not wrong. ๐Ÿ’Ž She's doing her thing. She's growing beautifully. She's continuing to develop. She's looking strong. And she's making herself very comfortable in her corner of the room. So while the photographer may have failed this week... the plant certainly didn't. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S STILL DOING HER THING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And that's actually the most important part. The absence of photographs doesn't mean the plant stopped being part of the story. Quite the opposite. She's still right there. Still growing. Still developing. Still becoming more herself. And that's something I've really enjoyed about Pheno B throughout this entire run. She has never felt like she needed to compete with her sister. She didn't try to become Pheno A. She didn't try to copy anybody else in the room. She simply established her own rhythm. More foliage. A more relaxed flowering progression. A beautiful structure. A substantial presence. And now... she's continuing that same story. She's not rushing. She's not complaining. She's not creating drama. She's just growing. And I love her for it. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž BIG IN HER CORNER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There's another thing I don't want to lose sight of this week. This girl is not small. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's around 160 cm from our last recorded measurement, and she has developed into a substantial plant. She's not hiding in the room. She's not disappearing behind the other girls. She's got her own space... and she's filling it. Beautifully. That's something that has become increasingly obvious as the run has progressed. When we first started following her, the story was: "She's the quieter Black Diamond." Now? She's a big, beautiful plant that simply happens to have a quieter personality than her sister. And I think that's an important distinction. Quiet doesn't mean insignificant. Relaxed doesn't mean slow forever. Different doesn't mean less. She's just... Pheno B. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS KEEP MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Even without photographs this week, I can still see the progression. The flowering structures are continuing to develop. The flowers are becoming more established. The plant is moving deeper into her flowering story. And that's what matters. We're not trying to make her match somebody else's timeline. We're watching her timeline. Some girls move faster. Some move a little slower. Some suddenly accelerate. Some take their time and then surprise you. And Pheno B has consistently been one of the girls who says: "Relax. I'm getting there." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ And she is. She's getting there. Week by week. Flower by flower. And she's doing it beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ STILL A BLACK DIAMOND โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The frost hasn't disappeared just because I forgot the camera. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Ž She's still carrying that beautiful resin-covered character we've been watching develop. And this is another reason I'm actually a little annoyed with myself for missing the photographs. Because I know there are details there that deserved to be captured. The flowers. The trichomes. The texture. The little changes from one week to the next. That's exactly why we document this project. But... sometimes the grower is human. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And apparently this week, the photographer's brain decided: "Everybody except her." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Next week... we fix that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘ญ THE OTHER BLACK DIAMOND โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The comparison with Pheno A remains one of my favourite parts of this diary. Same genetics. Same room. Same grower. Same general environmental conditions. Same lighting ecosystem. Same nutritional philosophy. And yet... two completely different expressions. Pheno A has been more aggressive. More demanding. More obviously dramatic. Pheno B has been calmer. More leafy. More relaxed. More patient. And I think that's beautiful. Because the whole purpose of this adventure isn't to force every plant into the same shape. It's to give them the same general stage... and then watch genetics write the story. Pheno B has written hers differently. And honestly? I wouldn't change a thing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก THE ROOM HAS CHANGED โ€” SHE'S STILL HERSELF โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room has continued evolving around all of them. We've added the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. We initially saw the PPFD climb higher than we wanted. So we adjusted. The fixtures are now running around: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug with approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally decreasing depending on plant height and position. The goal isn't simply: "MORE LIGHT!" ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's about having more capability and controlling it intelligently. More available photons. Better distribution. More flexibility. And then... let the plants decide what to do with them. Black Diamond Pheno B has her own answer. She's growing. She's developing. She's shining. She's filling her space. And she's doing it in her own way. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ SAME PHOTONS. DIFFERENT STORY. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably one of the biggest themes running through the entire 8ร—8 Adventure. We can put the plants under the same artificial sun. We can provide the same general environment. We can provide the same nutrition. We can give them the same irrigation philosophy. And still... they interpret it differently. That's genetics. The photons are the same. The room is the same. But the plants don't read the same instruction manual. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Black Diamond Pheno B is one of those beautiful examples. She receives the same opportunity as everybody else. And then she turns that opportunity into her own expression. That's what we're here to watch. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ SAME ROOM, SAME ADJUSTMENT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The flowering nutrition has also moved forward with the rest of the room. ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjustment as required Current solution parameters are around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ ~6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm Nothing special just for Pheno B. No secret recipe. No special treatment. She's part of the same room-wide strategy. And she's responding beautifully. Which is exactly what I want to see. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 11 โ€“ CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room continues around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: ~61% โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ?

We're always looking for plant problems. Too much. Too little. Too fast. Too slow. Too tall. Too short. Too leafy. Not leafy enough. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And then sometimes... the plant is perfectly fine. The only problem is the guy holding the camera. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Black Diamond Pheno B didn't forget to grow. I forgot to photograph her. There is a difference. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž And honestly... I'll take that kind of problem every week. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S STILL SHINING BRIGHT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Even without the photographs, the visual impression of this girl remains very clear to me. She's big. She's beautiful. She's green. She's developing. She's carrying herself well. She's filling her corner. And she's continuing to mature at her own pace. There's something very satisfying about that. She doesn't need to suddenly explode. She doesn't need to become the fastest plant in the room. She doesn't need to outperform her sister. She's already doing exactly what she needs to do. And that's enough. ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ NEXT WEEK, I OWE HER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I think we need to officially put this in the diary. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Black Diamond Pheno B... Next week, the camera is yours. No excuses. No disappearing. No: "Oops, I photographed everybody except you." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’Ž I'm going to make sure we give her the attention she deserves. Because after following her this far, I don't want to miss the visual progression of this stage. The diary is about the story... but the photographs are part of the story too. And this girl deserves her chapter in pictures. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ SAME ROOM.

One room. One lighting ecosystem. One general nutritional approach. And then... twelve different interpretations. Some girls are loud. Some are quiet. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some demand. Some simply grow. Some develop quickly. Some take their time. And Black Diamond Pheno B? She's the girl who quietly keeps moving forward... while somehow becoming more and more impressive. She's not trying to steal the spotlight. But somehow... she keeps ending up underneath it anyway. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At this stage, I'm simply watching the progression. ๐ŸŒธ Flower development. โ„๏ธ Resin development. ๐ŸŒฟ Foliage health. ๐Ÿ’Ž Structure. โš–๏ธ Stability. ๐Ÿ“ธ And next week... THE PHOTOS. ๐Ÿ˜‚ There is still plenty of story left. We're not finished. We're not calling the final chapter. We're simply watching her continue to mature. And I really like where she's going. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž SHE DOESN'T NEED TO SHOUT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ That's probably the best description of Pheno B. She doesn't need to shout. She doesn't need to demand attention. She doesn't need to be the fastest. She doesn't need to be the biggest girl in the room. She simply exists in her own space... and grows beautifully. That's enough. And sometimes... those are the plants you end up becoming particularly attached to. Because you're not constantly solving problems. You're just watching them become themselves. And I love watching this girl become herself. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ LET HER SHINE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ So yes... this week the camera failed her. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ But the girl? The girl didn't fail anybody. She's doing great. She's growing. She's developing. She's shining. She's filling her corner. She's continuing her flowering journey. And she's doing all of it under the same conditions as the rest of the room. Same upgrades. Same photons. Same nutrition adjustments. Same environment. Different expression. That's Black Diamond Pheno B. And I love her. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ EVEN WITHOUT THE PHOTOS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week 11. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B. And somehow... this week's story is partly about what we didn't photograph. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But maybe that's okay. Because the important part is still there. She's growing. She's beautiful. She's substantial. She's developing. She's shining. She's moving at her own rhythm. And she's continuing to show us exactly why having multiple phenotypes in the same room is so fascinating. Her sister may be louder. Her sister may demand more attention. But Pheno B has her own presence. And when I look at her standing there in her corner... I smile. She's beautiful. She's doing exactly what she wants. And honestly... that's all I could ask for. Next week? Camera ready. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’Ž Let's see what this beautiful girl has been hiding from us while I was apparently photographing everybody else. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Another week. Another chapter. And apparently... another reminder that even after all these years, the grower can still forget to take a photograph of one of the girls. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us this place to document the journey, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us these fascinating phenotypes to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore the expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’š Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who takes the time to follow these girls week after week. It genuinely means a lot. And Black Diamond Pheno B? I'm sorry, girl... ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ“ธ You were the one I forgot this week. But don't worry. You're not forgotten. Not even close. You're still standing there. Still growing. Still shining. Still filling your corner. Still becoming more beautiful. Still completely yourself. And next week... the camera is yours. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight she deserves. Even if this week... we have to imagine the photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’Ž See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the plants keep growing, the genetics keep surprising us, the crowns remain temporary, and apparently... the photographer occasionally forgets one of the queens. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ P.S.- Found them ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ

OG Fun and I are enjoying this lazy rainy Sunday together. I was going to move her to my side yard with the other ladies, but I love looking out at herโ€“she has kind of become my muse. Sheโ€™s branching out beautifully and has a classic Christmas tree shape. As she's getting plenty of sun and growing healthy, Iโ€™m going to keep her up here for the time being. Her pre-flowers are slowly starting to disappear, but no other changes to report this week. I'm using the same fertilizer blend (per gallon): - Soy hydrolysate (12-0-0) - 2.43 grams (160 ppm nitrogen (77 ppm from soy hydrolysate + 27 ppm from liquid fertilizer + 56 ppm from potassium nitrate)) - Liquid Fertilizer (4-10-3) - 2.6 grams (30 ppm phosphorus - measured with a cup on a scale) - Potassium Nitrate (13.5-0-46.2) - 1.56 grams (175 ppm potassium (158 ppm from potassium nitrate + 17 ppm from liquid fertilizer)) - Soy hydrolysate, liquid fertilizer, and potassium nitrate are combined together with no noticeable precipitation - Micronutrient liquid fertilizer (0.75% Mg, Mn, Ca, Zn, Cu, B, Ni, Fe) - 15 ml (delivered separately on a different day to avoid precipitation when blended with the 4-10-3)
